TL;DR: These prospective, longitudinal findings demonstrate diminished prematurity effects at adolescence in peer friendship behavior and reveal interpersonal dyadic processes that are important to peer group affiliation and other areas of competence.

TL;DR: Trends showing a dose-dependent attenuation of the slope of decline of the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) in part 1 and a statistically significant difference between groups in a joint rank test of change from baseline in ALSFRS- R and mortality in part 2 strongly support further testing of dexpramipexole in ALS.

TL;DR: The SFR is associated with improved neurobehavioral and medical outcomes related to increased developmental support and maternal involvement, and nurses reported a more positive work environment and attitudes in the SFR NICU.

TL;DR: Preliminary findings on the sample of 150 patients in the open-bay NICU showed a "baseline" of effects of family centered care, developmental care, parent satisfaction, maternal depression, and parenting stress on the neurobehavioral outcomes of the newborn.

TL;DR: Neonatal morbidities exert a significant impact in neurologic outcomes among preterm children during the 8 years of assessment, indicating neurocognitive and school performance outcomes in low birth weight infants are affected.
